Kingston Sangha

The Kingston Sangha is a non-profit and donation-based group of mindfulness practitioners that come together to breathe and cultivate peaceful living.

The sangha's practices are based on the Plum Village tradition and the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. The Kingston Sangha is a non-profit, donation-based community of mindfulness practitioners who come together to breathe, practice, and cultivate peaceful living. Founded in 2016 by Order of Interbeing members Hang Nhan and Sarah Martin, our sangha practices are rooted in the Plum Village tradition and the teachings of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh - a beloved spiritual leader, poet, and peace activist known globally for his pioneering teachings on mindfulness, global ethics, and peace. We gather in person on Monday evenings from 7pm-8:30pm for practice. A typical evening includes seated and walking meditation, mindful movement, readings, deep relaxation, Dharma sharing, and joyful singing. The Kingston Sangha gratefully accepts financial contributions to help support our weekly gatherings, retreats, and other events. Donations can be offered in cash during our weekly in-person meetings or by e-transfer to kingstonsangha@gmail.com. IN-PERSON MEETING DETAILS

Dear Friends, we invite you to watch this wonderful film about dear Thay’s return to his root temple in Hue, Vietnam, his final years there, and the moving ceremonies after his passing.

Made specially for the first anniversary of the passing of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, "I Have Arrived, I Am Home" is a new documentary from filmmaker Max Pugh (A Cloud Never Dies, Walk With Me). The film includes footage and commentary on Thich Nhat Hanh's return to his native Vietnam, where he lived from 2018 until his passing on 22 January 2022.

The international Plum Village community is making this film available to everyone for free to honor our dear teacher and inspire viewers to walk the path of mindful living: https://youtu.be/mkJLqq6j0Ic

It premieres at 1:30am on January 22 in Vietnam time, exactly 1 year after Thich Nhat Hanh's passing. (On most other continents it is January 21 – 10:30am PST / 1:30pm EST / 7:30pm CET.) The film will be freely available to view at any time after the premiere.
